Multi Pulse Propulsion

General


Dual-pulse motors are very promising candidates for the next generation of missiles. The key characteristic of the motor is the management of different thrust impulses according to mission need. The pulse management is performed by several propellant charges separated by a frangible bulkhead or a soft membrane, where the charges can be ignited separately. The feasibility of throttleable rocket motors using a variable throat is studied.
